Bounder: Looking at a 2002 DP

[mdo]

Looking at a 39' 2002 Fleetwood Bounder DP for $59,500....app. 30k miles.... any thoughts on pricing? Any issues for this model?

[Leary54]

Which model is it? And what engine does it have?

[flaggship1]

It should have the 300 HP Cummins Turbo - 7.5 KW Onan - Norcold 1200 (the problem child) a 2000 W inverter and the usual assortment of features of the "upscaled" Bounder DP. With the exception of the fridge, I don't know about the rest of it, but the Cummins and Onan if cared for should be fine. We love our '08.

Sounds worth looking into to me. Get a good PDI by an independent and see if ya can work a deal. Can't speak to the price either. Look em up and then insult the seller with a low ball offer (kidding - sort of).

Good luck.

Having it checked out thoroughly by people that are competent to do that is the only way you can know what you have when it comes to a "value" question? I.E. - if it's got a leaking radiator and out dated tires, I doubt seriously it's worth that? Or if it's got water damaged paneling or delaminated areas of exterior skin?

My point is, once you find a coach you really like, that seems to fit your "want" list, the next step is to get it checked out. Then you know what you are really looking at, and "value" questions are much more easily determined. PLUS, you'll sleep better at night knowing you've made a solid decision. -Al

Appreciate all the help here and it is encouraging to hear positive about the dealer! I sent an email to the salesman requesting additional info on the gen hours, tire codes, service history, refrigerator, etc.... after I gather this preliminary info, I would consider making an offer contingent on a independent inspection.... thanks again.....
